Abstract (en)
A rucksack having a hip support belt (52) pivotally attached to its frame (10) to permit user hip movement during walking. A flexible load-bearing rod (20), separate from the pivot attachment, is secured to the frame (10) and to each end of the hip support belt (52). In conjunction with the pivotable belt (52), the rod (20) is axially slidable relative to the frame (10) to allow complementary up-and-down movement of the user's hips whilst maintaining effective load transfer from the frame to the belt. <??>Shoulder cushion pads (82) are attached to a slidable yoke plate (70) whose slide extent is adjustable by a ratchet mechanism (34, 36) for different user back lengths. The ratchet mechanism is operable by the user whilst wearing the rucksack. <??>The shoulder cushion pads (82) are laterally adjustable on the yoke plate (70) for different user back widths. <IMAGE>
